This is a hand-colored etching from 1800 titled “Tom & Jerry taking Blue Ruin after the Spell is broke up.” The scene takes place inside a tavern or pub. The room is filled with people, mostly men, and is lined with barrels. In the center, two men are seated at a table. One is dressed in a blue coat and the other in a red coat. They are surrounded by a group of people, some of whom are looking at them with amusement. A man in a top hat is shaking hands with one of the men at the table. To the right of the table, a man is leaning against a large barrel labeled “Old Tom.” He is wearing a tattered coat and appears to be intoxicated. A woman is standing next to him, looking concerned. To the left of the table, a woman in a yellow dress is leaning against a pillar, looking at the scene with a smile. Another woman in a white dress is covering her face with her hands. The room is dimly lit, with a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The floor is made of wood, and the walls are lined with barrels and shelves. A window and door are visible in the background. The image is a satirical commentary on the popularity of the alcoholic drink “Tom & Jerry” and the excesses of drinking. The title suggests that the “spell” of drinking has been broken, but the scene shows that people are still indulging in their vices. The image is a humorous and critical look at the social customs of the time.
